MAYOR STOY PAID GOOSE ROCK is in SIGHT AT Water in Schuylkill Brings Historic Obstruction to View for First Time in Forty Years The lack of heavy rains in the Schuyl- ill Yallev for some time past ha3 had the effect of materially reducingN the volume of water in the river, and its state at Manayunk yesterday was such as to arive i some of the old residents to the- times i "before the war" to find a parallel to 1 some of the conditions existing at the present time. I Old river men declare that tne water the Schuvlkill at Manavunk is at least i six feet below' normal. Near the Pen-t( coyd Iron Works the water in the river was so low that a well-grown boy could. 5 easilv walk across without having thai water come much higher than his breast- A number of venturesome youths essayed the feat successfully yesterday. In the river near the Midvale avenua 1 entrance to the Park the ton of a large; rock known as "Goose Rock' Was plainly visible above the surface of the water': yesterday for the first time, some old-; timers claimed, in forty years.

In ante-j bellum days "Goose Rock was a terror to the captains ot steamboats that used, ton navigate the river, and the names of atj least three that ran on the rock and had-J much difficulty in getting off again are i still preserved local tradition. lheyj were the Frederick Graes, the Wissa-3 hickon and the Reindeer. At the Fallal of Schuylkill, near the Falls large island known as the old steamboat 3 landing, at which steamers used to was likewise visible alter an interval said to be at least as long as in the case Goose Rock. Another phenomenon noted yesterday i for which "old residents went back as fa-5 to find a precedent, was the appearance of the edge of the channel of the canal -5 which runs west ot the river. i WEST FOR THE ASSEMBLY 1 Said to Be Slated to Sncceed-Scovelj of Camden Special to The Inquirer.

i i MfiflAYUl 3 TBI lAAFa i PULPIT ATTACKS ON i SUNDAY ORDINANCE Camden Methodist Clergymen De- nounce Councilman Finkeldey's Measure Introduced Last Week While to all appearances the Sunday closing la was observed in Camden yesterday, yet if the ropes were known ice cream, tobacco and cigars could be purchased." Even saloons did a side-door As a prelude to his sermon last evening Rev. Dr. George H. Neal, pastor of Broadway E. Church, said, after reading a copy of the ordinance legalizing certain Sunday sales, introduced in City Council by MrV Finkeldey, that it was an untruthful-ordinance in its implication because it -Durnorted to leealize what had already been by the Legislature, thus inferring that these things prior to the introduction of the ordinance were illegal.

Dr. Neal said that the ordinance's chief purpose was to legalize the sale of cigars, ice cream and tobacco, and that its sponsor in introducing other things already provided for by law was ashamed of the measure. He argued that it was unfair and, predicted that all those who voted for it would sink into political oblivion. Rev. Y.

A. De Maris, pastor of State Street M. E. Church, in speaking on the same subject, said that the ordinance is obnoxious to a great many law-abiding people and that under its provisions he could see no reason why every beer saloon in the city could not open by merely adding non-intoxicating beverages to the stock. He declared that in his opinion the ordinance would be declared unconstitutional by the higher Councilman F.

A. P'inkeldey said yesterday that he introduced the ordinance in good faith and that he proposed to do everything in his power to have it adopted. He stnted that since the adoption of the old blue law, now being enforced, times and conditions have changed and the great mass of people now favor the ordinance he introduced.

Another false alarm was turned in to the fire department about 1 o'clock this morning from Cooper and Poplar streets. In responding Driver Charles Schrenck, of the carriage, and the horse "Bess" came near being killed. When at Broad and Cooper streets the collar became unfastened and part of the harness fell, -tangling up the animal's feet. The horse was thrown to the hard road, but Schrenk jumped and was painfully injured. The horse was frightfully cut about the shoulders and legs and can scarcely, stand.

The shafts of the hose carriage were broken, and it was necessary to cut away the harness to extricate the horse. The turning in of the false alarms is a problem that baffles the authorities. An example was recently made of a party who turned one in by inflicting a heavy fine, but this does not seem to stop the work. At least a half dozen false alarms have turned in in the last three months, always in the dead of the night.

BERRY WOULDN'T TALK POLITICS TO CAMPERS Chester Mayor Says Enough May Be Read and Heard on Subject Without Making It Sermon Topic iSppeial to The Inquirer. CHESTER HEIGHTS, July 30. A feature of the camp meeting at this place to-day was a sermon delivered by "William Berry, Mayor of Chester. It had been widely advertised that Mr. Berry would preach, and as a result the auditorium -was taxed to its utmost.

The campers who were expecting the Mayor to talk on politics were keenly disappointed, for he did not allude to the ubject except in his introductory remarks. He said: "I do not intend to preach a political sermon to-night; I feel that the pulpit on Sunday should be devoted to the preaching of the Gospel. There are mix days in the week when we can hear and read the political news, and that is enough. Politics are a good thing, but they will not help a man get out of his Bin and into a higher and spiritual life. I nave learned that no man, be he politician, pauper or prince, can live in thi life and be successful unless he walks and talks with.

God. He must be in partnership with the Almighty. One of the sweeteet themes of all the Bible is that there is a partnership between the good man and God." The revival which commenced a few days ago was even more manifest at today's services. There were scores of conversions at every meeting. Men and women crowded to the altar weeping and wringing their hands.

The fall election in this county will be an important one, and as the practically means election the conventions this year promise to be full of ginger. Two Assemblymen, a Sheriff, Steward of the Almshouse, County Auditor and two Coroners are to be chosen, and' several other minor offices filled. The present Assemblymen, Samuel K. Rob-oins, of Moorestown, and Benjamin D.

Prominent among these are Dr. E. S. Adams, former Mayor of Beverly, and John B. Irick, of Vincentowrn.

The ofHce of the steward of the almshouse is also not without seekers. F. Harbert, the present steward, has expressed his willingness to serve another term, while Samuel W. Bishop, of Wrightstown, and numerous others would like to occupy the same berth. The greatest interest is centred in the selection of a Sheriff, and it is here that tlie contest will probably be the hottest.

Three aspirants have already entered the field for this office, and the, booms of as many more are being prepared for launching. From surface indications Freeholder John J.

Declaring he is at a loss to account for the sensational stories of a threatened coal strike, John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, said to-day in an interview: "I believe some apprehension was caused by a report originating in Pittsburg that I had sent T. L. Lewis, vice president of the United Mine Workers, to arrange with the officers for a general' strike, which was supposed to offset a lockout on the part of the anthracite operators. The strike was alleged to involve the bituminous and anthracite miners and to be effective in a month or two. "There was no truth whatever in that statement.

Mr. Lewis was in Pittsburg on other business. All the bituminous miners in Arkansas, Missouri. Illinois. Indiana.

Ohio, Michigan, Western and Central Pennsylvania, and some other points, have agreements with the operators' association until April 1. And regardless of the fact that both operators and miners may and I believe are, desirous of renewing these contracts as they are now or modifying them as the conditions of the coal trade may warrant, there is, of course, an element of danger that they may not agree. "The attitude of our organization is simply this: We want to be in a position to, make a contract that will be as advantageous to our people as possible. Personally, I am satisfied that we will be able to negotiate another contract in the bituminous district which will ensure a continuance of the relations now existing between operators and miners in that field, and I am hopeful of like results in the anthracite region." Mr. Mitchell spoke as if he had no doubt whatever of such a result.
